We had a cat in L.A., that would get big rats and leave them on the sheltered rear porch rug. They'd be in a sort of curl, legs facing the door, and comparatively undamaged. Except a hole about an inch and an eighth, a near perfect circle, was opened in the top side, and all the entrails were pulled out into a pile between the legs. It was just a black hole there. Stuffing-ready. Blue things, red things, pink puffy things, in a little pile. "Serving suggestions" was the interpretative concensus. I probably cleaned up one of those each two weeks for three or four years. My dad was always happy; but it was my job to get rid of them. Sposed to rain heavily tomorrow. (Today.) AND Sunday. Dash was not happy with the sog today, and I would say he just took it out on the boy. He said, "I can control him." He tried to get him to purr, after he scooped him under himself on the bed.

<<We had another dead bird body this morning. >> Kate caught another squirrel yesterday and left it lying on it's back in the drive so it looked at first glance like we'd run over peanut. Wife let out a scream and I almost hit the garage.

Today Nick came up with the idea of filming a kitten jumping in the air, and giving it a sound-track and calling it "Kitten Ballet."

"I scream, BAD CAT, BAD CAT. And he runs around looking confused." He is confused because he does not understand English. Cat's communicate mostly by mental telepathy (with each other, that is). Some humans are more sensitive to cat's brain waves and thus understand them better. Some cats are sensitive to human brain waves and seem to understand them better too. It is a little known fact that because cats communicate telepathically, and therefore at the speed of light, their words are very long when transcribed to English. I know an amazing cat whose name (in English) is Peaches. It takes about 14 pages (single spaced, Times New Roman, 10 point font) to type his name in cat language. This is also why it is so difficult for most humans and most cats to communicate...the languages just are not compatible. I have a dog, Shadow Dogus the Wonder Dog, and a bunch of birds (Gouldian and Zebra Finches, Cockatiels, a Red Lory). Shadow is telepathic, but dog language is more like human language (shorter words spoken at normal speeds) and so he and I communicate really well. The Cockatiels and the Lory speak English so well they correct my grammar, (but their spelling is terrible -- they love to type, but I think it's only because I type so much). None of my pets have brought me a dead cat as a trophy. Yet. PCM
